Sep 2025 – Aug 2029

When entering towards the 6G mobile communications era, the huge numbers of connected devices with increased data traffic and new services imply significant challenges for the involved RAN design to be able to provide the system capacity and QoS with sustainability. This project focuses on developing new scientific knowledge and novel wireless transceiver and system optimization solutions enabling sustainable 6G radio access networks.

Jan 2025 – Dec 2027

Joint project (NSF–RCF) with Prof. Ahmed Alkhateeb (Arizona State University). Driven by the increasing demand for higher data rates, current and future communication networks rely heavily on large-scale MIMO systems and higher-frequency bands. This poses critical challenges, including high channel acquisition overhead, sensitivity to blockages, and difficulties in user scheduling and association.

• Optimize environment semantic extraction and data fusion at distributed sensors
• Account for overheads and benefits of multi-modal sensing
• Enhance overall network performance and scalability of high-frequency MIMO systems

Sep 2023 – Aug 2027

To realize the rapid growth of data traffic and applications, THz communications, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), and joint communications and sensing (JCAS/ISAC) are key enabling technologies. Their potential can only be unlocked with low-complexity, scalable, and practical solutions.

• Deep unfolding for wideband THz transceiver designs
• Metasurface control
• JCAS optimization leveraging domain knowledge + AI/ML fusion

Sep 2023 – Aug 2024

With Prof. Ping Jack Soh's antenna team, CWC-UOulu. ISAC is expected to be a cornerstone technology in future wireless networks, but its dual operations create performance trade-offs. RIS can reshape the EM environment to boost ISAC performance, and coupling RIS with ML enables efficient, scalable operation.

• ML-enabled RIS-assisted ISAC design and optimization
• Practical demonstrations in the 6–15 GHz frequency range (candidate for 6G)
• Joint algorithmic innovation and hardware prototyping

Oct 2022 – Dec 2023

DECENT develops efficient AI/ML solutions for hybrid beamforming (HBF) transceivers in THz communications. Our fundamental ambition is to create practical, high-performance AI-driven transceiver design frameworks for sustainable 6G systems.

• Lightweight DNN architectures for scalable deployment
• Energy-efficient and distributed solutions for wideband transceivers
• Replace iterative algorithms with fast, deep unfolding-based methods
